Donald Glover Got Not One, Not Two, but Five Emmy Nominations

The TV Academy is seeing double. And triple. And quadruple. On Thursday morning, Emmy nominations for this season were announced, blessing several multi-tasking entertainers with multiple nods for the projects they’ve worked on this year. From perennial nominees like Donald Glover and Elisabeth Moss to behind-the-scenes gurus like David Lynch and Amy Sherman-Palladino, here are the stars the TV Academy couldn’t recognize just once.

Let’s start with Glover, who picked up a nod for best lead actor for Atlanta, his critically acclaimed FX series. The show was once again nominated for best comedy, with Glover picking up additional noms for directing and writing. He also picked up a citation for his turn as a host on Saturday Night Live—bringing his total to five.

You know who earned almost exactly the same praise? Bill Hader. The actor was nominated for acting, writing, and directing the HBO comedy Barry; the S.N.L. alum also picked up a nomination for hosting the classic sketch series back in March. Let the nascent Hader-Glover rivalry begin!

Plenty of other stars also garnered golden tickets for pulling double and triple duty on their shows. Jason Bateman was nominated for acting in and directing the Netflix drama Ozarks.John Legend picked up an acting nod (his first ever!) for the NBC musical Jesus Christ Superstar, which was also nominated for best variety special (live). If it wins, Legend would get a statuette for serving as an executive producer, finally rounding out his EGOT—the Mount Rushmore of entertainment.

Sherman-Palladino, creator of Amazon comedy The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, picked up several noms, including writing, directing, and producing the series, which was nominated for best comedy. Elisabeth Moss picked up a lead actress nod for Hulu’s breakthrough drama The Handmaid’s Tale (which just shocked its fans with its divisive Season 2 finale). The series was also nominated, once again, for best drama, a prize it won last year. Moss, who serves as an executive producer on the series, picked up a statuette for that win, and will pick up another if the show wins again this year. It’s got some stiff competition, though, including HBO juggernaut Game of Thrones—which was not eligible at last year’s awards—and new favorite Westworld, as well as Netflix’s pop-culture smash, Stranger Things. The latter series, however, has yet to really break through with the tough Emmys crowd.

Speaking of the sci-fi series: Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer picked up writing and directing noms, an exact repeat of the nominations they earned last year (when they were crushed in every category by The Handmaid’s Tale). They’ll be in good company with David Lynch, who was nominated more than once for Twin Peaks: The Return, a divisive yet critically heralded series that is likely to go home empty-handed this year.

Aside from the people wearing multiple hats on their own shows, there were also plenty of nominees who earned nods for the various projects they jumped between this year. Returning favorite Sterling K. Brown was tapped for best lead actor for his role on the tearjerker This Is Us, but he also nabbed a nod for his comedic guest turn in Brooklyn Nine-Nine (a show that came dangerously close to extinction this year). Marvelous Mrs. Maisel co-star Alex Borstein earned a nom for best supporting actress in that comedy series, thanks to her performance as the grouchy manager Susie Myerson; she also received a best voice-over nod for her work on enduring Fox animated comedy Family Guy. (She was nominated in that category once before, in 2013.) Jane Lynch scooped a guest acting nom for her brief but memorable turn on Maisel, as well as one for hosting the game show Hollywood Game Night.Jeff Daniels was another multi-tasker, earning acting nods for his work on limited series The Looming Tower and Godless (writer-director Scott Frank also snagged multiple noms for the Netflix drama, which he created). Producer, writer, and director Alec Berg also scored for his work on Barry and Silicon Valley, toggling back and forth between both HBO comedies.
